"Jedrick Willis is a classic post-hype sleeper candidate. A first-round pick with the Cleveland Browns in 2020, Wills was a standout performer at the University of Alabama. Wills earned first-team All-SEC and second-team All-American honors in his final season with the Crimson Tide, which helped launch his draft stock and ultimately led him to be the 10th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft."
"The first step toward getting back on the right track for Jedrick Wills is to prove his health. Wills has been limited to just 13 games since the start of the 2023 season. Ankle injuries early in his career and a knee surgery in 2023 are among the ailments that have kept Wills off the field and from realizing his full potential."
Jedrick Wills Jr., a 26-year-old offensive tackle, has joined the Chicago Bears as part of a left tackle competition alongside Braxton Jones. Wills was a first-round pick (10th overall) by the Cleveland Browns in 2020 after earning first-team All-SEC and second-team All-American honors at Alabama. However, his NFL career has been hampered by injuries, including ankle problems and knee surgery, limiting him to 13 games since 2023. He did not play in 2025 and was benched during 2024. His Pro Football Focus grades have been inconsistent, ranging from 52.9 to 66.1. The Bears view this signing as a low-risk opportunity to add depth while giving Wills a chance to revitalize his career.
